Wednesday is the anniversary of the day the teen vanished in 1989 after leaving Wells Middle School. Her father, Mike Misheloff, said he still holds out hope that, like recovered kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard, his daughter may someday be found alive.

“It’s very difficult to do this vigil every year, but we will do it just as we always do,” he said. “And if necessary we will do it again next year.”
Dugard was freed from a long captivity in 2009. The Misheloffs have never spoken with her, saying they don’t want to intrude.
Joining Misheloff will be his wife, Maddie Misheloff, and Ilene’s twin brother, Brian Misheloff, who is now 37.
The march will begin with a candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. at Wells Middle School, 6800 Penn Drive, Dublin. Marchers will then walk to St. Raymond’s Church, 11555 Shannon Ave., for an ecumenical service at 8 p.m.A website with information on her abduction is kept up to date at find-ilene.org, and tips may be called in to (800) 635-6306.
